Advanced Colour

Choosing colours for an interior is one of the most enjoyable aspects of interior design. It can also be one of the most difficult to get right, even for experienced designers. This course examines how to make the transition from inspiration and samples to a finished interior. 

The day consists of seminars designed to build on existing knowledge and experience and aims to provide participants with greater colour confidence. 

The course covers ways of achieving rhythm, balance and harmony throughout a space, even when the colours used are strong ones. It explores the role of colour, tone and intensity to define and emphasise areas in larger spaces, both residential and commercial. In addition it looks at how the psychology of colour can be used as an effective selling tool and as a means of projecting a brand image. The day concludes with a look at trends and colour forecasting and how to develop your own eye for emerging colour trends.
